Titans Reiterate Vince Young Won't Be Back


Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak reiterated on Thursday that quarterback Vince Young will part ways this off-season, Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean reports.

"That was a decision made months ago, and nothing that is going to happen personnel-wise, or how the draft goes, is going to change that," Munchak said of the decision to release or trade Young this off-season.

The Titans initially adopted that stance prior to firing Jeff Fisher and promoting Munchak from offensive line coach.

"It wasn’t just a Jeff Fisher decision. I think people kind of have that feeling because it happened back then, we could change our decision," Munchak added.

The Titans are expected to take a quarterback early in the 2011 NFL Draft, perhaps drafting Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert if he's available with the eighth overall pick. Once free agency begins, the Titans could add a veteran to compete with a rookie and 2010 sixth-round pick Rusty Smith, who started one game as a rookie, a 20-0 loss to the Houston Texans.
